Season: 72-63  +24.38 units
  Sides: 51-36  +30.08 units
  Totals: 21-27  -5.7 units

Most will have a small card today with only a partial schedule, but I never have a small card.

Mil/Phi over 9.5 even (1 unit)
  Hamels is still in spring training mode thanks to some arm issues. Bush was horrible on the road last year. Sounds like plenty of runs to me.

NY Mets +123 (1 unit)
  I almost always fade Livan however, this price is too good to pass up. I believe the Mets are the best team in the NL, so any time they are getting money, I will most likely take them.

Houston +113 (2 units)
  Wandy Rodriguez is a pitching machine at home. Rarely does he lose and rarely do you see the Stros as an underdog when he's pitching at home. Chad Billingsly is the reason, and hopefully the Stros can push a few runs across to get the win.

KC/Cle over 8.5 -105 (2 units)
  Meche has been below average against the Indians (4.98 era last year) and both teams have solid offenses. Reyes has pitched well, but has been prone to give up the long ball. This is an awfully low number for an AL game with no ace pitchers on the mound.

Tampa Bay even (1 unit)
   Defending AL Champs with their ace on the hill. I'm in. King Felix has the ability to shut anyone out, but Tampa is definitely the better team.

Tex/Tor over 9 -115 (2 units)
  Ride the high scoring series when  you can. Both teams used a lot of pitchers yesterday, so the bullpens may be a bit worn down as well.

Happy Thrusday everyone!

Solid picks.  Like the Mets & Phil OVER.

Interesting contrarian choice w/the KC OVER.

Good luck.
